Question 1

How often should I change my shoelaces?

Accepted Answer

Shoelaces are durable, and in some cases can last as long as the pair of shoes that they come with. However, over time your shoelaces may deteriorate and become harder to lace up and much less reliable. If you notice that the ends of your shoelaces are beginning to fray, or that the material of your shoelaces has become harder or less malleable, it may be time to freshen up your shoes by switching out the laces.

Question 2

How long should my shoelaces be?

Accepted Answer

Shoelaces generally range from around centimeters, to over 100 centimeters. If you're replacing shoelaces in your favorite pair of shoes, the easiest way to figure out the desired length is to measure the shoelaces you already have. However, if you aren't able to do so, count the number of eyelets that your shoes have. This number should help you determine exactly how long you need your new laces to be.
